At a time when mainframe sales are going strong (http://www.internetnews.com/hardware/article.php/3764656), CA has announced Mainframe 2.0, an initiative to simplify its tools for managing IBM's mainframe z/OS operating system.
Mainframe 2.0 combines enhancements to CA's (NASDAQ: CA) mainframe management solutions with new turnkey management services.
"A lot of sites have doubled and quadrupled mainframe workloads, but staffing has gone down, and it was conventional wisdom in the last 10 years not to invest in mainframe skills. Now customers are feeling the burden," Vince Re, a senior vice president at CA, told InternetNews.com.
CA announced Mainframe 2.0 Wednesday at CA World 2008, its annual user conference, being held this year in Las Vegas through Thursday.
Under Mainframe 2.0, CA will create a uniform browser-based look and feel across all its solutions, automate processes and provide data to insulate IT staff from the complexities of the z/OS operating system, and streamline its solutions so they can be deployed by minimally skilled IT staff.
